Use a VGA video cable or a DVI-D cable to connect your monitor to your computer. To 
use DVI, you must have a DVI-compliant graphic card. Connectors are located on the 
back of the monitor. Be sure the computer and monitor are turned off and unplugged.
1. To connect the VGA cable 
Connect one end of the VGA video cable to the back of the monitor and the other end 
to the VGA video connector on the computer.
2. To connect the DVI-D cable (provided with select models)
Connect one end of the DVI-D video cable to the back of the monitor and the other 
end to the DVI-D video connector on the computer. You can use this cable only if your 
computer has a DVI compliant graphics card installed. The monitor DVI-D connector 
and cable are included.

High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 
(Available on Select Models)
Your monitor supports HDCP and can receive high-definition content. High-definition 
content is available in many sources, such as Blue-ray Disc devices or HDTV air or 
cable broadcasts. If you do not have an HDCP-enabled monitor, you will see a blank 
screen or a lower resolution picture when playing high-definition protected content. 
Your computer graphics card and monitor must both support HDCP to display 
protected content.
Connecting the Power Cable
1. Follow all Electrical and Power Warnings
 WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment: Do 
not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety 
feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet.
Be sure that the grounded power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily 
accessible to the operator and located as close to the equipment as possible. A power 
cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items that 
are placed upon it or against it.
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may 
accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable.
SeeTechnical Specification (Appendix B) for additional information.
Figure 3-7 Connecting the power cable
2. Connect one end of the power cable to the monitor and the other end to a 
grounded electrical outlet.
 WARNING! To prevent injury from electrical shock, you should do one of the 
following if a properly grounded electrical outlet is not available: (1) You should use an 
electrical outlet adapter that provides proper grounding. (2) You should have a 
properly grounded electrical outlet installed.
